It really is that simple - a noodle stir fry that involves lovely veggies and juicy prawns - and the prawns don't even need to be raw. That gets a big thumbs up from me. Now oddly, this recipe contains very similar veggies to yesterday's gnocchi dish -...

Now, don't go looking at the title of "Cheesey Seafood Gratin" and immediately think "oh, I can't afford that". I know that there are people out there for whom the price of this dish would be prohibitive, lord knows I've been one of them, but it really...

Sometimes, a recipe just works so well and is so tasty, that it needs to be blogged ahead of the queue. This is one such. I found this recipe in the latest BBC Good Food magazine and you can find the original recipe - which deals with raw King Prawns as...

As I write this blog, it just happens to be National Curry Week (8-15 October). We do like a curry in our house. We're obviously not alone in this, as there seems to be a great love for curry across the country, these days. It's not surprising then, that...

So there we were, one evening before Easter, pondering on what to have meal-wise over the Easter period. Did we really want to go down the big roast dinner route, or should we take things a bit more leisurely? Did we even want to cook at all, or should...

At last! I put the Trinidadian Prawn Curry on the menu list - and actually got to make it. Having done so, all I can say is "wow!". "Some like it hot" is about right - this stuff is almost dangerous, it's that hot. I know my hubby will be saying to himself...

Just before Christmas I took out a subscription (very nearly put "prescription" - totally different thing!) with the BBC's Good Food Magazine. Now I know that the majority of the recipes that appear in the magazine also appear online, but I just enjoy having...

Isn't it pretty? There we were, on Monday afternoon, pondering what we could have for Tuesday's "Pizza day". Son & heir will be happy busily working his way through a pizza, which leaves us room to make and have something that is likely to make his hair...

I was really quite keen to try Anjum Anand's Prawn Patia recipe (from her book "I Love Curry" ). My interest in the dish stems back to when I was courting my ex-fiance (some 34 years ago) and we would habitually go out for a curry on a Friday evening, after...

For absolutely ages, hubby has had a yen to make a paella-style dish. Of course, he'd have absolutely loved to have made true paella, but I fear that's beyond our purse at the moment. I've got to say, though, that the dish he made last night - Spanish style...

I do seem to have gone a bit mad on the chicken in this week's Menu Plan, but that's just the way it happened. ~shrug~ I suspect that it's part and parcel of trying to think of meals that aren't too "bad for you". Inevitably, you wind up with an awful lot...

I have said how I want to move us along from eating heavy stews and cream-laden this that and the others - which is okay during the winter (to a certain extent), but doesn't do for spring or summer. As such, I found a recipe on Yummly that got my brain...
